We need to reinsulate the attic. Maybe burn less pellets if we do that.

That's probably a very good idea.

[Sakiri]

Yeah I'm groaning because it'll be expensive, but then I think of how expensive it'll be to NOT fix it. Roof shovelers said it looked like we have massive heat loss through the attic. :/

[mirocu]

Insulating it is better in the long run so I'd say go for that.


As for us, I kinda wanna get both/either an air heater pump or whatever it's called in Inglish, or a toilet that freezes the stuff. Both is about 15-16000.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Heat pump uses ground heat. Sister in law just last year took out a loan to have it installed so she didn't have to haul pellets anymore. Think it was over 100 grand.

I just can't carry pellets many more years. My back constantly hurts and these bastages weigh 16 kg each.

[mirocu]

The pump I mean is the one you attach to the house and flows air into it and then heats it.

[Sakiri]

Ah yeah I've seen those. We'd need more than one I'd imagine. And I'm not sure how well cutting a hole in the house would work. Our outside walls are full of sawdust for insulation. We probably need to top that up, plus reinsulate under the attic floor. You don't put insulation under the roof in the attic "ceiling" do you?

The heat pump I was talking about, my in laws have as well. It's dug in the ground and collects heat from there.

[mirocu]

You don't put insulation under the roof in the attic "ceiling" do you?

Yeah you could do that, if I understood you correctly. Or just on the attic floor as you said.


If your house isn't too big I think one of those pumps I meant would be enough, it would just be a bigger one than what we need. In fact, the couple who bought our house only got one pump but it's a really big one.

House us like 63 sw meter or something ridiculously tiny.

We'll have someone look at the insulation. Do they do that in winter or should we try to book for summer? And who the heck would we call anyway?

Don't know, really. I have no experience in this, I'm afraid

And who the heck would we call anyway?

Think there are insulation firms who does that, or any good builder/carpenter like the guy we hired to build the framework for the tractor garage. Or you could do it yourself, just make sure to get the proper stuff.

[Sakiri]

Can't do it myself, I can't fit through the hatch to get up there. Lol. Too fat.

[mirocu]

Then perhaps you can ask a neighbour or smthn?

[Sakiri]

Idk. Mikael did it before but I think he did a crap job if we're having heat problems. And he lost his keys in the sawdust.

[mirocu]

And he lost his keys in the sawdust.

That is no bueno!


Also; payday tomorrow = massive bueno!

[Sakiri]

Nice! Payday is always good.

[mirocu]

Nice! Payday is always good.

If only I didn't have to give it all away to creditors as soon as I get it

[Sakiri]

The bills are always a downer aren't they? But you need to have electricity and water and stuff so...

[mirocu]

Yeah.

[Sakiri]
